The Dragons of Challon #4
Redemption
They call him Redemption.
A jest, because Redam Maignart is a man to be feared. He sits at Edward Plantagenet's left hand, and does his king's bidding―an assassin who kills without blinking an eye. His heart had died on that long ago night when his family had been slaughtered, and nothing has touched it since. He is sent northward on a mission―to find and dispatch William Wallace, a commoner raising holy hell in the year 1297. What he never expects to discover is a witch with the power to heal his soul.
Gillian of the Flowers, the lady of Lochstorr,
hoped her small holding on the edge of Glen Shane would go untroubled by this fearsome English king. That wish went unanswered. The aftermath of the war between Scotland and England saw a brutal knight come to claim her holding…and her. She must escape, or knows he will kill her. In her darkest hour her wounded spirit calls out for a dark champion to save her.
When Redam discovers Gillian, beaten and half-dead by a loch, he's filled with rage at her treatment. Yet, little did this stone-hard man know this woman held the key to redeeming his tortured soul. War stalks the Highlands, and evil men take advantage of these times. Redam knows he must protect Gillian, for he knows in saving her, he is saving himself.
As their passion grows, so does the terror that wishes to destroy them both.
